Starting a food truck had always been on the mind of owner and industry vet Joshua Martinez. Finally two years ago after moving from LA to Houston Joshua made the leap from working in brick and mortars to working in a street-side trailer.

Living in California exposed Van to a growing street food scene, so when he was laid off from his corporate job he thought opening a food truck in his hometown of Houston could be a cool idea. After researching the local street food scene Sascha the truck hit the road in April of 2010.
